Today, rising Canadian singer Katie Tupper has announced her debut album Greyhound. Out on January 21st via Arts & Crafts, the record is a celebration of soul, indie, and alternative R&B.

The first single "Right Hand Man" is out now. Tupper reflects on co-dependency within the song. Listen below:

On the new song, Tupper expands:

“This song is about the weight and pressures someone puts on you in a relationship— when you become someone's only source of happiness and they are vocal about it. It becomes a compromising place to be in and clouds your decision making about the relationship. I am a very independent person and all of my relationships have been independent. This song was about the first time I felt someone acting co-dependent towards me and how difficult I found it.”

Tupper chose the title of Greyhound for her debut record as a metaphor for her place in the world.

“Greyhounds that race on tracks are given these parameters and rabbit decoys to chase that are unreachable. If the front/fastest dog gets close to the decoy it just speeds up to make them run faster. The dogs think they are chasing something reachable but by design it will always be slightly ahead of them. It made me think about my relationships and how I act in the world. I am often both the Greyhound and the decoy — chasing something unreachable and being the thing that cannot be caught.”
